The addition of MAGE A4 and Hu-D to the EarlyCDT-lung panel improved the sensitivity of the assay for the detection of lung cancer by 7% with a loss in specificity of only 1%. These autoantibodies have been shown to be present in the circulation of individuals with lung cancer, and in some cases up to 5 years before the cancer presented clinically (1-3). These antibodies may therefore represent the earliest marker of carcinogenesis. The positivity rates for the panel by stage of disease for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and for extensive vs limited disease for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) were similar for all stages. 53 65 (42-85) 66 (43-85) 62 (42-80) 73% (171) 78% (138) 59% (31) The presence of autoantibodies was evaluated using a semiautomated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method where optical densities (OD) were converted to calibrated reference units (RU) (1).

Sensitivity for Final Panel Specificity of ~90% NSCLC OD @ 650nm EarlyCDTTM-Lung detects autoantibodies to a panel of six tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) with a sensitivity of 40% and a specificity of 90%. EarlyCDT-Lung has been shown to aid in the detection of both early-stage and late-stage disease in high-risk individuals. The positivity rate for individual autoantibody assays ranged in NSCLC from 2%-10% and in SCLC from 6%-21% with specificity for each antigen being >96%. Frequency of Autoantibodies to a Panel of TAAs Sensitivity at 89% Specificity Sensitivity at 89% Specificity CONCLUSIONS These data confirm that the addition of two new antigens to the EarlyCDT-Lung panel increased the detection of all stages of lung cancer giving a sensitivity of at least 45%. The presence of autoantibodies may provide an early indication of lung cancer, even in early-stage disease and may be useful in the management of high-risk individuals. Differences in the autoantibody profiles may in the future be useful in identifying what subtype or stage of lung cancer a patient is most likely to have.
